Exegesis
The narrative employs a sequence of vav-consecutive imperfect verbs—beginning with vayyiqra {וַיִּקְרָ֤א | wayyē-qərāʼ} ‘and he called’, followed by vayyagged-lo {וַיַּגֶּד־לוֹ֙ | wayyaggēd-lō} ‘and he told him’, vayyabe {וַיָּבֵ֨א | wayyāḇēʾ} ‘and he brought’, and vayhi {וַיְהִ֥י | wayhî} ‘and he was’—to portray a rapid series of actions.
